Guns at presidential events; “Tree of Liberty” signs. A so-called “Christian” preacher praying for the President’s death. A Facebook poll asking if Obama should be killed.
And that’s only a small sampling of the sickening hate and vitriol being slung around by the radical right-wing.
Enough is enough. This has to end.
Republicans, these are your creatures. You [...]

Republicans, get your monsters under control before it is too late.
Maine Coons. Again.

Pre- and Post- 9/11 Mindsets
The Mutant Poodle has just posted a beautiful tribute to what we lost on 9/11.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I do wish, however, that I could have said it as well as he did.
Tesco’s definition of “washed & ready to eat” does not match mine.
This:
rinsed out of a 100g bag of this:
Washed?

Seatbacks empty? Which FAA reg says that?
There was an article in the New York Times the other day about some airlines telling people that it’s an FAA regulation that no personal articles can be stored in airline seatback pockets.
The article quotes a “51-page 2007 F.A.A. directive on cabin safety” which says the following (emphasis mine):
C. Proper stowage of carry-on baggage is [...]
Five Facts about the anti-reform mobs

There’s been a lot of media coverage about organized mobs intimidating [...]

Last week, he saw the adverts for jobs with the NHS National Pandemic Flu Hotline and he promptly [...]
Crosby, Stills, & Nash – Manchester, England, 10 July 2009
Last night’s Crosby, Stills, & Nash concert in Manchester was the best concert I’ve ever attended in my life. And I’m not the only person who felt that way. I heard several other people say the same thing as we made our way to the parking garage afterward.
We were lucky to have snagged great seats [...]
Food Counters are Not Toddler Seats.
Was in Glasgow Central Rail Station yesterday with a few minutes between trains and no time for supper between appointments, so I stopped at the Burger King in the station to grab something to take with me. There was a woman, with a little girl standing next to her, in front of me in the [...]
